Mouse Recommended Settings

It is of import to make certain your mouse has on-board memory profiles where you can assign or dynamically modify both the mouse DPI and polling report rate to the recommendations outlined below. Zen tin can recognize the offset 5 mouse buttons, others would need to be mapped to a key using its own software, such as Logitech 1000-Hub or Razer Synapse 3 .

Some models like the Razer Deathadder Elite don't have on-board memory profiles , however they will still piece of work with their default settings and every bit long as the mouse is a loftier quality gaming mouse you should be fine.

DPI Speed

Cronus Zen supports all minimum and maximum DPI/CPI values. We recommend you offset at 4000dpi to get a skilful experience of your settings, or go straight for the jugular and ramp that bad boy upwards to 16000dpi - at that place'south no "right " answer other than whatever you remember works best for you lot. Most modern mice accept the ability to modify DPI with the click of a push button, and then information technology's quick and piece of cake to notice your preferred setting in existent-time.

Admin: I personally use a Logitech G502 set to 16000 dpi and 250Hz polling on an Xbox I, Sensitivity 30, DZ Comp 30/twoscore. Games like Black Ops and Modernistic Warfare are ane:ane compared to a PC.

Polling Report Rate

The Cronus Zen Mouse & Keyboard engine has been designed to work optimally with the hosts polling charge per unit. For case, an Xbox 1 polls at 125Hz (8ms) and a PS4 polls at 250Hz (4ms) . And then in the case of using Mouse & Keyboard on a console, you must prepare the polling rate of the mouse to 250Hz . If you but accept a 500hz pick, that should piece of work fine. It is a matter of personal preference of grade, but you'll find 250Hz on a console is a huge departure over the standard 1000Hz (which we practice recommend for PC use) - it goes from stutter to butter!
